The first framework agreement with the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) was signed in 1991. UNIL's collaborative relationships in research with ULB, which have always been intense, and the high level of student mobility between the two institutions naturally led to the signing of a privileged partnership agreement in 2016. Regular meetings are planned to identify and develop new areas for collaboration (funds for the promotion of research projects, doctoral study days, collaboration between departments, etc.).
Université Libre de Bruxelles
Call for joint projects
The privileged partnership between ULB and UNIL means that both institutions are committed to encouraging, strengthening and supporting cooperation in research and teaching as a priority.
As a result, they have created a joint annual fund to finance new bilateral projects. This provides seed funding for cooperative projects submitted jointly by teams from ULB and UNIL. Three calls for projects were launched in 2017, 2018, and 2019.
2021 call for projects
The Université Libre de Bruxelles and the University of Lausanne have decided to launch a 4th call for projects for the development of bilateral projects in teaching and research. The ULB-UNIL joint fund grants impulse credits to collaborative projects submitted jointly by teams from the two institutions and finances projects up to a maximum of € 10,000. The application must be submitted by 6 September 2021 at the latest via the Optimy platform. For more details, please consult the full text of the call (French version).
